Have anyone taken part in the photo contest before? There are a brunch of other copyright things written in point 2, together with the rule above.
So I was wondering if I need some form of "model release form"?

Even before Personal Data Protection became a big thing, this was common. Organizers don't want to be sued for using photos without proper model releases. You should be able to find some online. Or shoot landscapes, animals etc

The condition in many contests that gets most photographers pissed, is the right to unconditional use of any entry by the organizer, even if it doesn't win a prize.
